Corrections: Policy, Practice, and Research is a peer-reviewed journal with a broad correctional focus encompassing a wide range of relevant topics and innovative approaches from new theoretical perspectives and research findings to their implications for improving policy and practice. Both national and international in scope, the journal addresses these issues and challenges as they relate to sentencing, prisons, jails, and community corrections. A wide range of topics are considered and include, but are not limited to: prisons, jails, probation and parole, inmate/client and staff experiences, reentry transition, sentencing policies and practices, the death penalty, comparative corrections, correctional treatment, decarceration, educational and vocational programming, and privatization. All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two anonymous referees.
CPPR is currently soliciting manuscripts for a special issue on corrections-based responses to COVID-19. While the topic area is largely open to the author’s discretion, manuscripts considered for publication in this special issue can focus on a variety of topics related to: 1) experiences and reactions by prisons and jails; 2) community corrections adaptations; 3) early release decisions; and 4) and reentry issues. The manuscripts may focus on a small region, state, the United States, or international responses and experiences. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches are welcomed.
